List Mgmt. Trade & F/A - 2020

[Robroy22]

If he went to the Gold Coast for the rumoured reasons, I have no issue with it. Going to be a long few weeks I think with the chatter either way. Which of course the "journalists" will be salivating about

The "journalists" are the ones starting it mate, they start it...then they get to "report" on what they started.....

 

[Jafo]

We did it to Cloke.

Cloke was cooked and a mercenary for ages (asking for big $). I think we forced Peter Daicos out a year early however.

 

[partypie]

Merrett is too slow.

Sure Merrett is not a flat out speed machine, but he's still got a reasonable amount of leg speed which is evident in some of his highlights so it's a stretch to call him slow.

 

[Robroy22]

Speaking of free agents and coaches wonder if Eddies made a call to Gary Ayres or Chocco Williams as an assistant.
Someone start a rumour on twitter pls.

They'd both be a big improvement on what we finished up with this year. (Boyd's ok)

 

[No SPIN]

I can say and I did because I know it was the case.

I wouldn’t have posted otherwise.

why did he go back as an assistant if he left on such bad terms?
Is it possible it was not as bad as you were led to believe?

 

[well left]

Seriously, do yaselves a bloody favour

Yeah he looks a prospect doesn’t he?

If Treloar did want out and you could get him and one of Brodie/Fiorini/Wright you’d think we’d at least come out square.

looks a bit suspect by foot how quick is he ?

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Treloar is better than Merrett.

Fight me.

Go Collingwood... put together the slowest midfield in the history of the AFL.

 

[Jafo]

Not sure what we had to offer (probably sweet FA), but would Ollie Wines have been good for us to have a look at last year given he was being shopped around for another club?

 

[unplugged]

the more you watch the more you like

I can't even work out who he reminds me of the most out of the current players in the AFL.

 

[unplugged]

To show my hand I was open to trading Treloar if he wanted to go back for family or whatever reason but not this!


Knightmare use your contacts & find out if this sh*t is true, disgraceful if it is, absolute campaigners act!!!

Not what what?

 

[unplugged]

looks a bit suspect by foot how quick is he ?

Did you think? All I saw was some very quick feet when he needs to and then really takes his time to hit the right target by hand or foot. Hands very penetrating and to good position. Like Sier on steroids.

 

[Thefly38]

Knightmare is he on Rowells level?

couldn’t be or there is no way it lasts too 5 or 6

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Why tf would/should we trade away Treloar for Merrett. They’d both be in similar coin, Treloar is better IMO and he has great friendships at the club already. It doesn’t make sense that we’d trade him to a Vic club just because and then get Merrett. I’d say if Treloar leaves it’d be him wanting to go to QLD even though he said he won’t and Merrett will be the back up plan. I just don’t understand, really hope it’s all media bullshit and he stays.

Do you think the club is concerned with AT's hamstrings, which seem to have affected his pace and penetration in his kicking?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

He may say now it's fine, but when his wife and baby daughter leave him for a year he may seriously struggle, on and off the field.

In fairness, Final Fantasy VII has been recently remade, so he’ll be perfectly fine for 10 months with no partner and kid.

 

[Knightmare]

Knightmare is he on Rowells level?

I did a video going into this for my YouTube channel (see signature).

It's the 'Better than Rowell?' video.

The short summary is I'd take Rowell. But the finals series of Phillips last year which I used as a fair sample to allow for same number of games and same quality opposition (as all APS kids are playing) - Phillips was both statistically superior and on impact superior to what Rowell did at the same age - even through Rowell in the Grand Final as an underager and again last year won B.O.G honours. Rowell was the best player in last year's finals series, but Phillips' finals series with on parr with the likes of Serong and Flanders. On impact and consistency similar to Rowell, but on numbers not that extremely high. But better than Anderson who was below expectation last finals series. So that's pretty incredible company, and doing this a year younger than those guys, he's legit and the clear best mid in this draft.

Some may say Hollands is a better midfield compared to Phillips, but at this stage he's the better forward and he's special with the impact he can have on the outside, but I don't see him as that same volume ball winner or developing that same level of inside game. Hollands should go before the GC pick, but if for some strange reason (most likely injury as he's coming back from knee), he'd be a good get, though I'd prefer keeping Treloar personally, with Hollands not as sure of a pick to me, having not really improved last year.

 

[well left]

You’re right in that he doesn’t look lethal by foot. He does look to have good acceleration and for me I like that combined with him seeming to get first hands to the ball a lot. I feel that’s a real need for us.

[STAY SHARP]

Wasnt DeGoey and DeGoey seniors big meeting at Collingwood HQ today?

 

[JB007]

You asked if we had done it before.....I gave an example.

Your follow up questions above are irrelevant mate.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Possibly. I can’t explain why we’ve been pushing so hard to trade him (going by reports which could all be fake) otherwise. If he doesn’t want to go to QLD why would the club possibly trade him. If he ends up in QLD I’ll be accepting but if he goes to a Vic side I’d be pissed off. Moore’s hammies got through unscathed this season (touch wood), so unless they’re screwed I think they’d try to back him in as he loves the club.

 

[Apex36]

Hope he gets the job just for the fact that will mean he wont be at Collingwood anymore.

Bring back Bhudda!

 

[Jafo]

Surely there’s other players to look at that at this point of time are part of clubs still contending for the flag instead of the ones we’ve been speculating about so far.

 

[nahnah]

Merrett is a spud

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Not what what?

Long shitty day, few drinks in, reacted a bit too soon, deleted post until further info comes out

 

[No SPIN]

Sorry and with due respect, I can’t believe any player goes back to a club that has treated him as badly as I was describing.
